Roofing in Trinity & Granton — common questions
Do you cover Trinity, Granton and Newhaven?
Yes — Trinity, Granton, Newhaven and the wider north-Edinburgh EH5/EH6 waterfront are close to our Leith yard, so we cover them for repairs, re-roofs, flat roofing and emergencies.
Can you maintain a flat roof on a Granton waterfront flat?
Yes. Modern waterfront blocks often have single-ply or felt flat roofs that need periodic inspection and repair, especially given the exposure. We survey, repair and renew them, and can set up a maintenance plan.

How much does a roof repair cost in Trinity?
It depends on the roof, the access and the materials. As a rough guide, minor slate or flashing repairs in Trinity typically start in the low hundreds of pounds, while a full re-roof runs to several thousand depending on size, pitch and access. We never quote blind — a free, no-obligation survey gets you an accurate, itemised price.
Do I need a repair or a full re-roof?
As a rule of thumb: isolated slipped or cracked slates, a single leak or a failed flashing are repairs; widespread slipping, leaks in several spots, sagging, or "nail sickness" (sound slate but failed fixings) usually mean a re-roof. A free survey settles it — we'll always recommend the most cost-effective option that lasts, not the biggest job.
How long does a slate roof last in Edinburgh?
A natural slate roof in Edinburgh typically lasts 80–150+ years. The slate itself rarely wears out first — the fixings (nails), lead flashings and timbers usually fail before the slate does, which is why re-fixing and "nail-sickness" repairs are common on older roofs in Trinity rather than full slate replacement.
